More than half a month is a bit incredibly fast, and sometimes we find that as we grow older, it seems that the understanding and measurement of time will change a lot.

A child's year is always long, but for adults, a year just represents a short cycle.

In this more than half a month, Philip relied on his talent and humility to successfully break into the core of the temple research institute.

All the old and young professors and researchers here knew about Professor McGonagall's young but bright assistant and student.

He was challenged by a few young scholars with a high heart, and even though Philip's foundation in runes was still a little weak, his novel ideas and well-developed brain made these challengers fail in a roar of laughter.

So under the co-optation and corruption of several equally old male and female professors, Philip has become a common computing specialist in this small research institute, after all, purely in the field of computing, except for Brian, Philip's work efficiency is comparable to that of more than twenty experimental assistants combined.

And these professors who have tasted the sweetness are not only satisfied, but naturally they will not be stingy to point out this young man and teach him his profound knowledge.

Although the accumulation of knowledge is a gradual process that takes a long time, Philip's brain has built up a knowledge system, or skill tree, that is ahead of most countries in the world.

In the future, all he has to do is to hang branches and leaves on the branches of this tree, and as long as he perseveres, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, and he will inevitably bear fruitful fruits in the future.

It can be said that Philip spent more than half a month in great fatigue and happiness.

As the new team pet of the Institute, he also has a competitor, an equally young but amazingly talented girl, Liv Lee Damon, who just turned 24 this year, has a quarter of the Twin Continent blood.

The dark-haired and blue-eyed Liv is not very pretty, but perhaps it is the internal influence on the outside, and her small size has a strong bookish atmosphere, which makes her always gather around a group of young researchers, competing for courtesy.

And Philip is also interested in this 'senior sister', but it is not the attraction between men and women, but her unique way of thinking.

Occasionally, after work, he would always invite this senior sister to drink a cup of fragrant coffee and sit under the shatuo tree in the garden to talk about the past and the present.

Although this gave Philip a lot of hostile glances, he didn't care at all, if he was not satisfied, he could fight, and he could even use only one hand.

Liv is still very satisfied with having a place to relax from those wild bees and butterflies for a while, and it is also a very eye-catching haven, and she is naturally willing to share her family philosophy... Let's share theories that count as philosophical categories with him.

Liv's grandfather was a scholar from the twin continents, let's be considered a scholar, according to Liv's description, Philip had in his mind the image of an old god who relied on fortune-telling and criticism, and was worthy of feng shui.

But this old-timer still has two real brushes, not only successfully established himself in the city, but also married (tricked) Liv's grandmother, a talented woman who is also a scholarly family.

His set of metaphysical theories is a bit similar to Philip's Zhouyi gossip in his previous life, but the specific content is very different, and its core is more like a set of rigorous philosophical thinking, expounding the cognition and summary of the laws of the world, with a little sense of the unity of heaven and man.

They divided the elements that make up the world into twelve trunks, thirty-six branches, and a compound constant, which together are 49, which corresponds to the one that has escaped.

Although the content is obscure and all-encompassing, it can be applied in many aspects, such as the trend of the leyline, climate warning, and the replacement of countries, and the small is the blessing and misfortune of people, and so on, and computing is only one of the applications.

Perhaps it is difficult to find a person in this continent who is so authentic in Gemini Continent, and can understand these abstract theories so deeply, or really understand, Liv is also very good at talking, and she has benefited Philip a lot from teaching all the superficial fur that has been passed down from home.

Because he had long discovered that although this senior sister was not an awakening of computing ability, she was a genius second only to him in terms of coordination and calculation efficiency in the entire theological research institute.

This is inextricably linked to the fact that she uses that metaphysical knowledge to eliminate a lot of redundant data.

If Philip can understand this theory, it will inevitably improve the speed and accuracy of his calculations.

The only pity is that with the unexpected death of Liv's grandfather, this theory only grasped a little basic thing through oral Liv when she was a child, and most of the essence has been lost.

I don't know if it's subjectively too sensitive, but when Philip used these things to participate in the actual calculation, he faintly felt that the spiritual power on the spirit pattern was more active, and it seemed that a little inexplicable change had occurred.

It was not that the speed of spiritual power had become faster, nor that the frequency of oscillations had changed, but that it was a mysterious and mysterious feeling, as if the connection between him and this world had deepened a little.

However, Philip didn't bother with this change, because he spent almost half of his spare time preparing 'surprises' for Sophia.

Although it has been confirmed that he must be busy as a guard of honor and patrol for the entire week of the July Flower Festival, it does not mean that he will not be able to spare any time at all.

This July Flower Festival, Class A and Class B will be divided into three brigades to cooperate with the local Templar Knights.

And during the rest of the shift, as long as you have enough energy not to affect your reaction on duty, then the time is completely up to you.

In order to increase the effect of the surprise, Philip even hid from Aph and Calitan, and only a few people such as Paul and Duke quietly cooperated with his plan to prepare.

With less than a week to go until the July Flower Festival, even in the city of Flogen, you can clearly feel the restlessness in the fiery air, as if the fragrance of the flowers of Lily Mountain has drifted here, and the romantic atmosphere lingers in the air.

Not only young men and women, but also many middle-aged and elderly people also wore colorful clothes that are rarely seen, and the whole city was decorated with a lot of beauty.

Lanterns made of golden grass were hung in front of and behind the houses, and even the slums, which used to represent depression and darkness, became a sea of light, and at night they were brightly lit, and from high in the sky they looked like stars and brilliance.

The West 3rd Cave neighborhood in the leathersmith district of Frogun City, a tube building that is very common in the slums, has five floors above and below.

Cook Lovegood sighed as he rubbed his somewhat swollen knees.

The tall and beautiful angel-like girl, as well as the seemingly expensive medicines, allowed him to recover gradually, at least he could take care of himself, but the long bed bed and several serious complications destroyed his body, especially the atrophy of muscles and the brittleness of joints.

Cook, who had just been able to walk upright, relied on a pair of crutches and insisted on exercising his body every day, and he could feel a trace of vitality emerging from his decaying body, which was a miracle he had never hoped for.

It was his adopted son, William Jr., who took refuge with the Templar Fellow named Philip and sold him for a good price.

If he could, Cook Sr. really didn't want William to make a life-threatening choice so early, he was just a child.

It's a pity that the rules of this world are so cruel, if you don't have a good background, no matter how talented and amazing you are, it will take dozens of times more effort to get a chance to succeed.

may even waste years at the bottom, struggle and fall for life, and finally annihilate among everyone.

So looking at the worry and expectation in William's eyes, Old Cook didn't say anything, and accepted these kindnesses in silence.

After being strong all his life, he still became a burden to that child.

Knock knock!

There was a rhythmic pounding sound outside the not-so-thick wooden door, and Old Cook regained his crutches.

Looking at the sun outside, it should be little Fanny upstairs who has come to deliver dinner, her mother Gilna has a good hand at cooking, and can always stew a delicious pot of delicious dishes with the simplest ingredients.

When William left, he gave Fanny and his daughter all three meals a day, which would not only reassure him, but also make the life of the orphan and widow much better.

The wooden door opened, and the unoiled hinge made a sizzling sound, but it was not the expected little Fanny standing outside the door, but two men in brocade clothes, who were five big and three thick.

"Mr. Cook Lovegood?" asked the man outside the door politely.

"I am, who are you, and what is the matter with me?" said old Cook, who had not visited him in almost two years, let alone a guest who was so well-dressed, except for the neighbors in the old building.

The brocade clothes on the man's body are enough to exchange for a month's food for all the families in this building, not to mention the sword belt on his waist, which will definitely not be able to get off without a hundred gold cards.

"My name is Gildero, one of Master Philip's bodyguards.

I'm sorry to disturb your rest at this time, but there is an unfortunate thing that requires you to pass as soon as possible.

Your son, William, fell off his horse during training an hour ago, and although he has recovered most of his injuries after being treated by Miss Afu, he has not yet recovered from hitting his head.

That's why Master Philip sent the two of us to pick you up, after all, the distance is not close, and the carriage is already waiting outside. ”

As soon as he heard that William was injured, and that it was the most important of all, his head, the elder Cook's head exploded, and he almost tripped over the fallen cane and fell to the ground.

He didn't bother to pick up his crutches, grabbed a coat and limped out.

The slightly steep staircase in the dark, narrow tube building was unfriendly to a man who was not good at walking, and the elder Cook had to lie on Gildero's back, and he carried it all the way to the carriage.
